Department Early Childhood Studies (ECS) is one of four departments in the College of Education and Integrative Studies that offers specialized, graduate and undergraduate programs in Education, Educational Leadership, Ethnic and Women’s Studies, Interdisciplinary General Education, and Liberal Studies. The ECS department benefits from a diverse community reflective of the greater Los Angeles area. Our student body is over sixty percent students of color and reflects our geographical context as one of the most linguistically, culturally, and racially diverse regions in the U.S. The ECS department recognizes historical, systemic, and present conditions that marginalize children, families, and communities, through intersecting oppressive formations across race, language, culture, class, religion, and disability. We are committed to transforming the consequences of the legal and social formation of racism and intersecting forms of oppression through antiracist and decolonial pedagogy, linguistically and culturally responsive approaches, and through advancing social justice and equity in early childhood education. In 2020/2021 the ECS department participated in an anti-racist training led by an expert in early childhood anti-racist research. The Early Childhood Studies (ECS) Department's undergraduate degree program advocates for equity and intersectional understanding of systems of oppression that are currently in play in early learning and care (ELC). The ECS program embeds concepts of multilingualism and anti-racism throughout all their required core courses. While at Cal Poly Pomona, Early Childhood Studies’ students learn processes important for early childhood development and identify implications of theory in the examination and application of principles and practices within diverse family, program, and community contexts. Program graduates are prepared to work in infant-toddler programs, preschools, elementary schools, careers in home visiting, family support programs, post-baccalaureate degree programs, and other professional contexts that focus on working with young children and families. For students to obtain the knowledge, skills, and dispositions to work with children and families during the most critical developmental time in a child’s life we provide hands-on experiences through service learning, internships, practicum, and fieldwork. ECS students have the opportunity to interact with children and families in our campus childcare center as well as our family-friendly space at the CPP library that supports parenting students and their children. To support our diverse student population, courses are offered in diverse modalities including face-to-face, hybrid, and online. In Spring 2021, the ECS Department was awarded NAEYC Accreditation, becoming the first university in the State of California to earn this distinction. We have a highly collaborative department. We regularly update our curriculum, support our diverse students, collaborate with community partnerships, and advocate for children and families in organizations such as PEACH (Partnerships in Education, Articulation, and Collaboration in Higher Education). Our faculty are also highly engaged in supporting families on campus and developed CPP KARES (Cal Poly Pomona Kids Activities and Resources for Educational Support) and Bronco Family Space at the CPP library.

College The mission of The College of Education and Integrative Studies is to prepare students to become dynamic, innovative, skilled, and socially responsible leaders in a changing local and global society. As a learning community of students, scholars, and professionals, we are dedicated to the advancement and development of knowledge, interdisciplinary and student-centered education, equity, and community engagement. We are a learning community focused on meeting the present and future needs of students in our communities. We educate students to become highly qualified and significant leaders in our society. We are committed to the principles of diversity, ethics and social justice, and life-long learning. Central to our mission are innovative and integrative thinking, reflective practice, collaborative action, and learning by discovery. Department Early Childhood Studies (ECS) is one of four departments in the College of Education and Integrative Studies that offers specialized, graduate and undergraduate programs in Education, Educational Leadership, Ethnic and Women’s Studies, Interdisciplinary General Education, and Liberal Studies. The ECS department benefits from a diverse community reflective of the greater Los Angeles area. Our student body is over sixty percent students of color and reflects our geographical context as one of the most linguistically, culturally, and racially diverse regions in the U.S. The ECS department recognizes historical, systemic, and present conditions that marginalize children, families, and communities, through intersecting oppressive formations across race, language, culture, class, religion, and disability. We are committed to transforming the consequences of the legal and social formation of racism and intersecting forms of oppression through antiracist and decolonial pedagogy, linguistically and culturally responsive approaches, and through advancing social justice and equity in early childhood education. In 2020/2021 the ECS department participated in an anti-racist training led by an expert in early childhood anti-racist research. The Early Childhood Studies (ECS) Department's undergraduate degree program advocates for equity and intersectional understanding of systems of oppression that are currently in play in early learning and care (ELC). The ECS program embeds concepts of multilingualism and anti-racism throughout all their required core courses. While at Cal Poly Pomona, Early Childhood Studies’ students learn processes important for early childhood development and identify implications of theory in the examination and application of principles and practices within diverse family, program, and community contexts. Program graduates are prepared to work in infant-toddler programs, preschools, elementary schools, careers in home visiting, family support programs, post-baccalaureate degree programs, and other professional contexts that focus on working with young children and families. For students to obtain the knowledge, skills, and dispositions to work with children and families during the most critical developmental time in a child’s life we provide hands-on experiences through service learning, internships, practicum, and fieldwork. ECS students have the opportunity to interact with children and families in our campus childcare center as well as our family-friendly space at the CPP library that supports parenting students and their children. To support our diverse student population, courses are offered in diverse modalities including face-to-face, hybrid, and online. In Spring 2021, the ECS Department was awarded NAEYC Accreditation, becoming the first university in the State of California to earn this distinction. We have a highly collaborative department. We regularly update our curriculum, support our diverse students, collaborate with community partnerships, and advocate for children and families in organizations such as PEACH (Partnerships in Education, Articulation, and Collaboration in Higher Education). Our faculty are also highly engaged in supporting families on campus and developed CPP KARES (Cal Poly Pomona Kids Activities and Resources for Educational Support) and Bronco Family Space at the CPP library. We are currently involved in a state-wide project, which aims to identify foundational competencies for early childhood professionals to have in working with multilingual children and families, and to develop a formative assessment tool through our collaboration with other stakeholders in the region.
